As far as today goes, I got up fairly early, showered and got ready for my 9am yoga client. It's weird when His Lordship is home, even if he knows the person. He tries to stay quiet and we go back to the yoga room and do our thing. She had to yoga and dash, so that's what we did.
I had thought we were going to run errands or some errands, but we just went to the bank and then to the deli for lunch. It's way too early (or was) for me to eat, but since His Lordship gets up at 6am (or 4:45am when he's working) it is his lunch time. He plans to go to see he friend at 2:30 and I'm going to visit a friend who had surgery around 2. She's home and doing much better, so that's good.
Tomorrow I hope to get the rest of the errands run as well as grocery shopping. I think I'll offer to drive *smirk*.

I actually got up fairly early today (for me) as my normal 4pm yoga client is coming at 9am. I probably hit the snooze bar enough times to keep me in bed until 7am, but then I got up and had tea and a slice of banana bread I made yesterday. It’s…not bad. I made it with Miracle Whip instead of eggs and butter. I think I like the original better, but this isn’t bad.
My yoga client showed up right at 9am and we chatted it out for about ½ an hour (she’s a friend too) and then we got going. Did yoga for about an hour, then we chatted some more until about 11:30.
His Lordship got our Wii up and running after about 5 years and so I did some Wii stuff. My balance isn’t bad, but my feet! Oh my! Anyway, got that going. Put a load of laundry in as I’d totally spaced that as my day is a bit off due to the holiday and then it was time for lunch. Leftover Chicken Pot Pie! Yum.
I watched a documentary on Youtube about Henry VIII. Interesting as I’d never seen it, but no real new discoveries re: his death. I took a shower and continued with laundry.
His Lordship came home around 2:30 and I took a nap on the couch whilst he decompressed from his day. I woke up rather bad moody. Possibly due to what I need to do tomorrow – spread my mom’s ashes. His Lordship had done his outside chores before it got too cold/dark. I decided that we needed Chinese food for dinner so he went to get Panda Express.
I pretty much stayed on the couch, saving the times I moved laundry around, the rest of the evening. I watched mindless tv and didn’t talk much.
Went to bed at 10pm and was unable to sleep well. Definitely thinking about what was to come.

It's been hotter than blue blazes around here. Especially with no AC in the house except the kitchen and then it's freezing in there. Can't win, just gotta vent. Heh.

Yesterday was the 12th and today is Wednesday/Book/Reading day. So, as far as reading goes:
36. The Japanese Lover by Isabelle Allende
I thought this was going to be another WWII drama, but it was very different. It was more about the Japanese Interment camps interwoven into the story. Honestly, the more history, true history, I read the less I like how things were. Just. No. It was a good read. Thought provoking. Problematic (for me anyway) and touching. I highly recommend this.
37. Hell Is Empty by Craig Johnson
This is the 7th of 11 of the Longmire mysteries. They sure are popular at my library as I'm always on a wait list. That's okay, they don't become too stale. Not that Mr. Johnson is at all repetitive in his narrative (as opposed to some series I've read). Book Longmire is much funnier and outgoing than TV Longmire. I finished this book in one day, they are pretty easy reads. Gripping though.
Possibly tomorrow I'll have a real life update. Not much going on, just stuff. Under the cut is my 12th day.

If I hadn't seen the other posters...the year just flew by didn't it!?
To preface, His Lordship has been working every day (with an occasional day off every two weeks to keep him sane) since early October. He only had to go in for 4 hours; from 11:30-3:30 on Sunday. He got up at his usual buttcrack of dawn and went for a drive in the MINI, as he is wont to do. I continued the sleep of the sleepy.
I think I got up sometime before 9am, honestly I can't remember. His Lordship was back from his drive and had the computer occupied. I took my coffee to the living room and noticed that Sunday morning tv is crap. Once he vacated the computer, noting that I don't normally have to share (ha!), I did my morning thing and looked at the internet until my coffee and banana bread was finished.
After I got dressed (I like to breakfast in my jammies, just sayin'), I got out all the stuff needed to make the royal icing for the cookies (chai spice gingerbread!) that I'd made the previous day.
His Lordship left around 10:45 for work and I got busy with that royal icing. It can be tricky and I think I've got it down now. I even wrote down exactly what I did as I want to remember and age....yeah. In between I texted The Princelings to see if they were available for dinner. Since they both work in food/bar service, their work schedules are changeable. And they now live together. Heh. Karma.
I got the cookies finished and was astonished to note how long it took! I remember telling myself to just go slow and don't rush, I had all the time in the world (which I did). But still! Who knew it would take almost 4 hours to make icing and decorate 3 dozen cookies! I had three shapes and kept the color palette simple and the decoration the same to each shape. I have a much greater appreciation of the time it takes to do all that intricate work.
After I got the kitchen cleaned, I jumped in the shower. Clean and sparkly, I noticed my neighbors were home (they are in the process of moving - sadness) and I took some cookies across the street. I'll miss those kids. I got texts from the boyz saying they would be coming and I was waiting, waiting, waiting and no His Lordship. He finally texted around 4:30 saying he was helping fix something and he'd be home soon. Well, the kitchen was clean, dinner was going to be fairly easy to make, so I watched some old Iron Chef stuff on Food TV. Not the original Iron Chef from Japan, which I might just add is the BOMB. But I still enjoy Alton Brown. During commercials I started prepping dinner and finally at 6:30 His Lordship texted he was on his way and I got a text saying the boyz were as well.
Like I said, dinner was fairly easy. I made Korean Beef with rice and a salad. Everyone was home and eating by 7ish. The Heir brought laundry as he'd been puppy sitting for his gf and said puppy had peed on his bedding. Lots of bedding and towels. S'all good. Even better, The Heir got a new job! He's now a bartender at a new place in town. He's wanted to do this for awhile and he seems happy. The place is only new but has gotten great reviews. The best thing is the owner is not "in" with all the bar owners in town. It's a real "good ol' boys" club. We'll see how it goes.
After dinner we watched "Spiderman Homecoming". I was, frankly, appalled at Micheal Keaton's appearance. Dude looked rode hard and put up wet. It was an okay movie. Not my favorite of the Marvel Universe, but acceptable.
Laundry got done and kids left around 10pm. We went to bed. All is right with the world.
